More quotes by Georges Braque
When one reaches this state of harmony between things and one's self, one reaches a state of perfect freedom and peace-which makes everything possible and right. Life becomes perpetual revelation.
Georges Braque
Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
What greatly attracted me - and it was the main line of advance of Cubism - was how to give material expression to this new space of which I had an inkling. So I began to paint chiefly still lifes, because in nature there is a tactile, I would almost say a manual space... that was the earliest Cubist painting - the quest for space.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Scientific perspective forces the objects in a picture to disappear away from the beholder instead of bringing them within his reach as painting should.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.
Georges Braque
I find that it is important to work slowly. Anyone who looks at such a canvas will follow the same path the artist took, and he will experience that it is the path which counts more than the outcome of it, and that the route taken has been the most interesting part.
Georges Braque
Limited means often constitute the charm and force of primitive painting. Extension, on the contrary, leads the arts to decadence.
Georges Braque
Emotion should not be rendered by an excited trembling it can neither be added on nor be imitated. It is the seed, the work is the flower.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Georges Braque
